Achieving Durable Peace in Ukraine

Featuring Thomas Graham, Michael Kimmage, Monica Duffy Toft, and George Beebe (Toft is the Professor of International Politics and Director of the Center for Strategic Studies at the Fletcher School)

The Trump administration’s goal of achieving a durable peace in Ukraine will require sustained diplomatic engagement with Russia, Ukraine, and European partners across a wide array of military, political, and economic issues. A QI policy brief, “Peace Through Strength in Ukraine: Sources of U.S. Leverage in Negotiations“, by Eurasia Program Director Anatol Lieven, Grand Strategy Program Director George Beebe, and Eurasia Research Fellow Mark Episkopos outlines these diplomatic areas and offers policy principles to guide the successful implementation of a negotiated settlement that would ensure Ukraine’s postwar security and prosperity and lay the groundwork for a reinvigorated architecture of European security.

To discuss these issues and mark the brief’s publication, the Quincy Institute held a conversation featuring Thomas Graham, distinguished fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, Michael Kimmage, director of the Wilson Center’s Kennan Institute, and Monica Duffy Toft, professor of International Politics and director at the Center for Strategic Studies at Fletcher University. George Beebe, director of the Grand Strategy program at the Quincy Institute, moderated the conversation.
